Yep, got one myself; and unfortunately, Windows decided it was going to add this drive to the list of drives to defrag each week. Luckily, I caught this not too long after it was going on and stopped it but, it hurt performance. I was forced to do a secure erase on the drive to regain the factory performance.

OCZ SandForce drives have that terrible reputation and recently OCZ has adopted a new controller for their drives which seems to be much more stable but, much slower.

Well i ended up going with a Mushkin 60g that had better specs, better reviews and a good asking price. I've only had it in for about 4-5 days now so i cant say anything about longevity but the speeds are almost double what i had previously. 500ish read/write compared to the 130-200 i was getting is awesome.
